Erin Hahn recommends
In the Orbit of You (2024)Ashley Schumacher"Ashley is the rare author I trust explicitly with my heart. She can make me cry, she can make me laugh, she can make me swoon straight to the floor. Within these pages, she's blessedly done all three and then some."The Partner Plot (2024)Kristina Forest"The Partner Plot is a top tier second chance romance. The pining! The heartache! The spice! Kristina weaves a love story that feels familiar yet entirely fresh. Xavier and Violet jump off the page and directly into your heart. You'll be shouting at this book as you read, but all along you're just rooting for them to get over themselves and fall into each other and when they do... *sigh*. Kristina could write my to do list and I'd read it faithfully. This fantastic book is no exception." Long Story Short (2022)Serena Kaylor"I loved this book to pieces. Delightful and charming with the familiar biting wit of a Shakespearean production, Long Story Short was the perfect read. At times I wanted to scream at Beatrice and others, I wanted to give her a big hug (or three) for being so darn relatable. Thankfully, she had a supporting cast to die for in Mia, Nolan, Shelby and *sigh* Nik who lead our heroine gently from behind the curtains to center stage in her own life." Accomplished (2022)(Georgie Darcy, book 1)Amanda Quain"Accomplished is what I imagine it would look like if all my favorite Austen heroines united together and raised some hell in 2022." A Little Bit Country (2022)Brian D Kennedy"I devoured this heartfelt and honest LGBT+ romance in a single sitting, unable to tear myself away from Luke and Emmett's story. With sweet original lyrics, a heaping serving of comfort food, and the heart-stopping aches and flutterings of first love, A Little Bit Country is a glittering love song of a debut." Sway with Me (2021)Syed M Masood"Syed Masood is my favorite YA author, and this story and these characters are exactly why. Rich with culture, touched with hilarity, immersed in heart, Sway with Me made me laugh one moment and wipe tears from my cheeks in the very next. Masood is an auto-buy for me." You'd Be Home Now (2021)Kathleen Glasgow"Raw, honest, and over-flowing with feelings, You’d Be Home Now does the real work of healing and acceptance unlike anything I’ve ever experienced on the page. Once again, Glasgow brings her readers through it with her special brand of care interspersed between layers of sparkling prose. Emory and her devotion to her brother, Joey, will stick with me for a very long time." Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love (2021)Jared Reck"This book is a literal warm hug for your soul. Reck's storytelling is an immersive sensory experience and his characters burrow into your heart. Not only will this book make you hungry, it will fill you with joy and leave you wishing to revisit Hej Hej, Oscar and his Farfar time and again." It Goes Like This (2021)Miel Moreland"It Goes Like This was everything my music nerd heart needed AND wanted. Lyrical and heart-wrenching...beautiful representation, sweetest longing and the pop-star romance of my dreams; Swifties will swoon happily with this story tattooed on their hearts." Perfect on Paper (2021)Sophie Gonzales"Perfect on Paper is a perfectly-complicated love story in every way. Gonzales has gifted us with a well-intentioned and thoughtfully-complex protagonist in Darcy, whose advice is wonderfully applied not only to the questioning students she anonymously helps, but to readers as well! Full of swoons and angst and packaged carefully with heart, Perfect on Paper was a brilliant study on the complications of first loves." A Taste for Love (2021)Jennifer Yen"Jennifer Yen’s debut ticks all of my most favorite romance boxes... Austen-worthy hero? Check. Sweet and spicy baking competition? Check. Coming-of-age feels? Double check. A Taste For Love is a delightfully fresh take on first love and following your heart that will appeal to readers of Sandhya Menon and Emma Lord." My Eyes Are Up Here (2020)Laura Zimmermann"Charming, relatable and laugh-out-loud hilarious, My Eyes Are Up Here is a sparkling debut from my new favorite YA author, Laura Zimmermann. Her Greer Walsh is at once all of us and the most special of us. I wanted to hug her, give her a high five and sometimes throttle her, but I always, always rooted for her." The Lucky Ones (2019)Liz Lawson"Goodness. This story made me ugly cry next to strangers on an airplane. The Lucky Ones is so beautiful and important. As a teacher, mother, author, and human being, I say thank you to Liz Lawson for tackling a horrible reality in such a heartfelt and lovely way." Visitors also looked at these authors
